Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is a suitable tree species in order to ensure substantial woody biomass yields on agricultural sites in eastern Germany. Arranged in hedge structures (alley cropping) positive effects on wind velocity and hence on soil erosion can be expected for the whole agricultural production area. Results of field measurements carried out in several alley cropping sites located in eastern Germany show that wind velocity can be reduced by more than 50 \%, even though tree hedgerows were not higher than four meters. Here, the reduction of wind speed was dependent on the distance to woody crops, the width of the crop alleys and the orientation of hedgerows. As a result of wind speeds reduction the potential of soil erosion by wind decreases considerably. The risk of wind erosion is even nearly negligible for 24 m wide or smaller crop alleys. The establishment of short rotation hedgerows could contribute to an enhanced protection against wind erosion and thus to an ecological and possible long-term economic appreciation of agricultural sites. Aside from erosion control, further advantages such as a lower evaporation rate, and thus a crop yield increase, may be connected to the establishment of such agroforestry systems. Against the background of the increasing demand for woody biomass for bioenergy, the cultivation of fast growing trees on agricultural sites can furthermore result in an additional incomefor farmers. This is a prerequisite for the spread of this kind of agroforestry in Germany, because a comparable large share of an unprotected field has to be planted with trees in order to ensure an efficient windbreak.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KanzlerBoehmFreese, author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {N{\"a}hrstoffgehalte und Ertr{\"a}ge von Kartoffeln in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit zur Entfernung vom Geh{\"o}lzstreifen in einem Agroforstsystem}, series = {Tagung der Gesellschaft f{\"u}r Pflanzenbauwissenschaften e.V. mit der Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft Agrartechnik VDI-MEG, 16.-18.

Therefore, we annually investigated the crop alleys (AC) and black locust hedgerows (ABL) of a SRACS field trail under initial soil conditions to identify the short-term effects of tree planting on the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its degree of stabilization by density fractionation. We detected a significant increase in SOC and hot-water-extractable organic C (HWEOC) at ABL, which was mainly restricted to the uppermost soil layer (0-10 cm). After 6 years, the SOC and HWEOC accumulation rates at ABL were 0.6 Mg and 46 kg ha-1 year-1, which were higher than those in the AC. In addition, comparatively high stocks of approximately 4.6 Mg OC and 182 kg HWEOC ha-1 were stored in the ABL litter layer. Density fractionation of the 0-3 cm soil layer at ABL revealed that the majority of the total SOC (47\%) was stored in the free particulate organic matter fraction, which was more than twice that of the AC. At the same time, a higher and steadily increasing amount of SOC was stored in the occluded particulate organic matter fraction at ABL, which indicated a high efficiency for SOC stabilization.

However, alley cropping for woody biomass production is of interest because of its high potential to concurrently provide a biomass feedstock and an arable crop. One of the systems that exists, although at an experimental level, is the integration of rows of fast growing trees, such as poplar or willow, with arable crops. The experimental plots were initially established as part of the German joint research project "AgroForstEnergie - Economic and Ecological Evaluation of Agroforestry Systems in Farming Practice", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (AgroForstEnergie 2015). The goal of this project was to study alley cropping systems, which concurrently produce a woody biomass feedstock and conventional agricultural crops. Currently the work is continued through the AGFORWARD Project. The State of Brandenburg is known for its light sandy soils that are prone to wind erosion. The introduction of tree hedgerows within the agricultural landscape can reduce wind erosion (B{\"o}hm et al. 2014). In addition, microclimatic conditions such as soil moisture, wind speed reduction, relative humidity and air temperature have been more favourable for plant growth in crop alleys compared to reference crop areas (B{\"o}hm et al. 2014; Quinkenstein et al. 2009). Sugar beets are a common crop for conventional agricultural systems in Western Europe. As part of agroforestry systems, sugar beets have rarely been studied. Even though sugar beets can root up to a depth of 2 meter, their yields can be significantly reduced due to a lack of water (Hoffmann 2010; Bloch et al. 2006). Agroforestry systems that consist of tree hedgerows and crop alleys, also known as Alley Cropping Systems, have the potential to increase plant moisture in comparison to conventional agricultural systems (Quinkenstein et al. 2009). This study aims to assess tree hedgerow effects on sugar beets. The objectives of this study were to; 1) assess how tree hedgerows planted at three distances affected sugar beet yields; 2) to correlate soil moisture values of the top 15 cm with sugar beet yields at the same distance of the tree row; 3) to assess the effects of drought stress on sugar beet yield.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MirckKanzlerBoehmetal., author = {Mirck, Jaconette and Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {Sugar beet yields in an alley cropping system during a dry summer}, series = {Social and technological transformation of farming systems: Diverging and converging pathways, 12th European IFSA Symposium, Newport, 12-15 July 2016, Book of Abstracts}, booktitle = {Social and technological transformation of farming systems: Diverging and converging pathways, 12th European IFSA Symposium, Newport, 12-15 July 2016, Book of Abstracts}, editor = {Wilcox, Andrew and Vinall, Samantha}, publisher = {Harper Adams University}, address = {Newport, Shropshire}, pages = {80 -- 82}, abstract = {Agroforestry (the integration of trees with crop and/or livestock production) offers a pathway to diversify agricultural production.

The objectives of this study were: 1) to measure how alley cropping systems with varying alley widths affect crop microclimate, 2) to measure the effects of this microclimate on sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) yields, and 3) to assess how moisture availability affects sugar beet growth patterns.

In addition, tree-strips have the ability to improve the groundwater quality underneath the tree-strip itself and possibly underneath adjacent fields.

As a consequence, the current conventional crop production on these post-mining areas is restricted. Against this background, the increasing demand for woody biomass for bioenergy, and thus the cultivation of fast growing trees for woody biomass production, could represent a promising option to enhance the productivity of land reclaimed from mining. Accordingly, considerable research has been carried out over the last two decades on reclamation technology, in addition to attempts to improve the soil quality through the use of different fast growing tree species in the Lusatia lignite region. Through such studies, it has been shown that it is possible to cultivate a sustainable supply of bioenergy wood through the use of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) trees, even under the unfavourable growth conditions of the marginal post mining areas. Since this knowledge is mainly based on studies of monocultural plantations (SRC), in 2007 a short rotation alley cropping system (SRACS) was established in the reclaimed lignite mining site "Welzow-S{\"u}d" with the purpose of obtaining fresh insight.

Short rotation alley cropping systems (SRACS) represent a promising possibility to combine annual crops for food, fodder or bioenergy with woody plants for biomass production, doing so through an integration of hedgerows of fast growing trees into conventional agricultural sites. Against such developments, the question has arisen as to what extent hedgerows in SRACS can act as an effective windbreak despite their management-related low height of only a few meters. On the basis of multiannual recorded wind velocity data in high resolution at two sites in Germany, it could be shown that the wind speed on crop alleys was reduced significantly by such hedgerows. At the central point of 24 m wide crop alleys, the wind speed decreased on an annual average basis by more than 50 \% when compared to the wind speeds of open field. The overall amount of reduction was strongly dependent on the location within the crop alleys, the height of trees, the distance between two hedgerows, and their orientation. In reflection upon these results, it was concluded that the establishment of SRACS could lead to enhanced soil protection against wind erosion and thus to ecological and economic benefits for agricultural sites.}, language = {en} } @misc{KanzlerBoehmFreese, author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Freese, Dirk}, title = {Impact of P fertilisation on the growth performance of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) in a lignite post-mining area in Germany}, series = {Annals of Forest Research}, volume = {58}, journal = {Annals of Forest Research}, number = {1}, doi = {10.15287/afr.2015.303}, pages = {39 -- 54}, abstract = {Due to its ability to grow on marginal sites black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) has been widely planted as a short rotation coppice (SRC) system that produce a renewable biomass feedstock in several post-mining areas of East Germany.

In April 2011, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of higher rates and different applications of phosphorus fertiliser on the nutrition, survival, and biomass production of two different-aged black locust SRC plantations on the post lignite-mining site "Welzow-S{\"u}d", situated in NE Germany. Treatments were applied as triple superphosphate (30, 60 and 120 kg P ha-1) and PK fertiliser (60 kg P ha-1) through broadcasting or banding on recently harvested or planted trees, respectively. Soil, leaf and woody biomass data were analysed utilising the Mann-Whitney U test and the Spearman correlation coefficient (rS). Following two growing seasons, it was observed that the total dry weight yields of the black locust seedlings were increased strongly by up to 8 times when compared to the control group, particularly when TSP was applied through banding. P fertilisation, however, did not affect the biomass yield of six-year-old black locust trees, but P concentration in leaves among treatments of both sites was still significantly increased and sufficient from a quantity upwards of 60 kg P ha-1.

The presented photosynthesis model provides a good and realistic estimation for seasonal carbon balances on the leaf level for both species.}, language = {en} } @misc{KanzlerBoehmMircketal., author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Mirck, Jaconette and Schmitt, Dieter and Veste, Maik}, title = {Microclimate effects on evaporation and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield within a temperate agroforestry system}, series = {Agroforestry Systems}, journal = {Agroforestry Systems}, issn = {1572-9680}, doi = {10.1007/s10457-018-0289-4}, pages = {21}, abstract = {This study investigates the spatial and temporal impact of microclimate conditions caused by poplar hedgerows in a short rotation alley cropping system (SRACS), and their effect on the atmospheric evaporative demand (AED) and the grain crop yield of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Patras) in direct comparison to a common agricultural crop system. Microclimate was measured at nine positions distributed at the SRACS and an adjacent open field in Brandenburg State (Germany) from March to August 2016. Our hypothesis was that microclimate and AED was improved at SRACS, with traceable effects on the crop yield. The analysis of air temperature and water vapour deficit (VPD) data revealed significantly (p B 0.05) lower daytime values from June to August at the crop alley of the SRACS, which were generally most frequent at the poplar hedgerow and 3 m west positions. By contrast, wind speed was reduced at almost all the positions of our crop alley and during the entire measurement period during both day and night. The AED measured on sampling days in July was significantly (p B 0.001) reduced at the whole crop alley, with values from 24 to 32\% in comparison to the open field. We observed a strong linear relationship (R2 \& 0.78-0.99) between AED on one side and wind speed and VPD on the other side. The average grain yield within the SRACS was 16\% higher than on the OF. However, our microclimate data were insufficient to explain this yield surplus.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KanzlerBoehmMircketal., author = {Kanzler, Michael and B{\"o}hm, Christian and Mirck, Jaconette and Schmitt, Dieter and Veste, Maik}, title = {Agroforstliche Nutzungsstrategien zur Sicherung der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion im Kontext steigender Urbanisierung und den Folgen des Klimawandels}, series = {Anfoerungen an den Pflanzenbau in einer sich urbanisierenden Welt, 60.
